By RAW, a fighter in a 3' corridor would be at disadvantage to attacks/advantage to be attacked because the corridor is smaller than the 5' square he controls (even though real world hallways are usually 3'). Maybe I'd say you can attack with a dagger or shortsword without disadvantage in a 3' hallway, but a rapier would still be at disadvantage. (More likely though, I would decide that rapiers and shortswords are both thrusting weapons, and would treat them the same way unless you were locked inside of a phone booth, in which case the shortsword really is easier.)</p></blockquote><p></p>
